It's not very uncommon.

Greek euro circulation coins have a denomination on both sides:

In the Swiss cantons this was not unusual:

5 Rappen from Basel:


Sometimes this was expressed in different sub-units of the main currency. E.g. Aargau 1 Batzen = 10 Rappen (= 0.1 Frank):


And of course, there are also coins with the denomination on the edge. E.g 5 Austrian Schillings 1934.

Not sure I understand the issue of denomination on both sides of a coin: all Greek Euro/ cents have it.

Austrian 1 Euro-Cent, 2 & 5 Euro-Cents have the denominations expressed in words on their obverses.

Have a look here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_euro_coins .
